A dime-novel romp of vigorous adventure carries its heroes clean out of the known world.

This 1904 Street & Smith story by William Wallace Cook, from the Adventure Library, delivers the brisk, plot-first thrills of the pulp era's ancestor, the dime novel, as its characters are swept into a strange realm. A period artifact of turn-of-the-century popular fiction, cheap, fast, and cheerfully fantastic. Read it for the rough-and-ready charm of early American adventure publishing at full gallop.
